Is this fairly easy to do, or does one need a lot of pc knowledge--I wanted to try it but was afraid to overheat my pc.

This Can Happen if you have a Crap computer and when running a game ur computer runs at 100% CPu but it only normally happends if you leave the game on to long and your computer heats up causing the metal particals in your computer to heat up causing them to expand which can lower you computers lifespam but if you take ur computer to the extreme and it cant handle it. *Bang* you could blow your motherboard,cpu and other hardware it happened to me
if you got a liquid cooled computer there is less chance of that happening.if your afraid of this happening possible buy more fans to increase heat disparrancy and also dont leave it on for more than 10 hours.You Can Add me To Msn:

Overclocking is easy to do, but its risky.
Its like adding a supercharger to an engine to give it more power. In a PC, its to get more clock speed. For gamers, more clock speed menas more frame rates for a smooth game.
Some motherboards, like MSI and Epox allows overclocking by tweaking the CPU settings in the BIOS.
If you intend to do this, you need to get a good cooler for your CPU, a liquid based cooling system would do the trick.
However, you could damage your CPU and board by doing this. Plus your system might become unstable. Do it slowly. Try one setting at a time until you get the fastest but most stable overclocked setting.

Just make sure you read and understand how the program works. Also keep in mind that overclocking is done at one's own risk and choice_which is not always wise.

Unless you have a good understanding of computers, the BIOS, what overclocking is, how to adjust the voltages, how to adjust the speed, and how to install a better heatsink or cooling system, I would stay away from it.
You could get your system to where it won't boot and you can't access the BIOS.
